The Shame Of It All

Our pals over at the statist's organ wound up their piece on the defeat of the rogue Liberal government by pointing out to us the important state matters that this untimely defeat will leave undone:

Monday's vote means a number of bills will die on the order paper, among them an act to decriminalize small amounts of marijuana and an animal cruelty bill.

Omigod, I said to myself, whilst self-administering corrective amounts of kinetic energy to the side of my skull, how could I have been so crass, so self-centered, so thoughtless as to have called for a rush to the polls when such dire issues lay before the nation? However shall we forgive ourselves for forsaking the potheads and kitties in our zeal to loosen the power-hungry, lying, thieving hypocrit death-grip on our national wealth? I am pierced.

The same two important national issues rise to the top of the agenda over at CTV:

Left hanging are about 35 bills, including an act to decriminalize small amounts of marijuana and an animal cruelty bill.

This is our two main national news media outlets for crying out loud.

Allow me to translate: Trawna Yuppies Beware! The Mean Conservatives are not going to let you smoke pot. Women! Beware! The Mean Conservatives are not going to protect the baby seals, puppies and kitty-kats! You MUST, MUST vote Liberal!
